writes as follows concerning
the death of Brigham Young:
Brigham Young is dead and laid
away for his long sleep in his sar-
cophagus. The writer lived at Salt
Lake City during the Prophets last
illness, and is perfectly familiar with
the circumstances relative to his demise.
On the 22nd Of August, 1877, Brigham
Young was taken i'll with cholera NOR

coming more serious, the Drs. Bene-

was apparent for two or three days, but
on the 26th inflammation of the bowels
superrened and the President was in
very critical condition. He suffered
!, the severe pain with fortitude and
clung to life with the same tenacity
that characterized his many exploits
during his career. He was conscious
until within few hours of his death
and repeatedly expressed his hopes Of
recovery. In the last two days of his
illness extensive peritonists had set in
and the modern prophet succumbed te
the inexplorable laws of nature and
quietly passed away from earth al

POKER AT THE CAPITAL.
ShreWd Players Of the American
Game.

A few evenings since a coterie of
gentlemen gathered together at one
Of the leading clubs we're discussing
the interesting subject of poker-play-
ing as practiced at the present era, as
we'll as in days lang syne at the
National Capital. Many amusing
and indeed interesting incidents we're
detailed respecting the idiosyncrasies
of various well-known lovers OF the
game, which, if put in print, would
doubtless impair, if not destroy, the
divinity with which common report is
apt to hedge some of our public men,
who have passed current for saints,
when in truth and in fact, as Presi-
dent Lincoln once observed to Senator
Wilkinson, of Minnesota, "If we are
looking for angels we won't find them
on EARTH"
Zone of the queerest poker players
l ever sat WITH" remarked one OF the
coterie, twas Senator Nye, of Nevada.
He was always ready and willing to
make up game, and never found
fault with the company, however
expert. In fact, he preferred to play
with the best players, provided the
rules of the game were rigidly en-
forced. He never INDUCED in con-
versation, but frequently hummed a
tune, preferably an old Methodist
hymn. He never picked up his cards
until they were all dealt, and he fixed
Ibis eyes upon the dealer. Before
looking at his hand he eagerly

not designed for publication, but it
makes some points worth noting.
We have ''done up" Southern Cali
fornia, and after nearly four weeks OF
continuous travel, in which We have
visited all the principal points of in
terest in the State, we have come to
the conclusion that the biggest boom
on earth is raging here, with very lit
tie to back it outside OF fine climate
and grand scenery.
Land here, unimproved, with water
right, is worth from 500 to $500 per
acre-we haven't found any yet for
less than 500, and the average is
about $3.50. AS We journeyed through
some of the valleys we passed miles
of townsites all staked out, with the
streets cleared and graded and sign.
boards to show the names. Some OF
these prospective towns had a hotel
and depot and nothing else-not so
much as tree to shade the barren
earth. Just at present it is q fine
field here for a sharp operator in real
estate. We, think there will be
crash, for the simple reason that the
land will not begin to yield return
for the price. The whole valuation is
purely fictitious, and there will be fun
soon.
One feature of the real estate busi-
ness will amuse you. They get band
of music and several wagons with
large gaily painted signs on them, and
with this circus outfit they parade the
streets, advertising the auction sale Of
lots situated in some back district.
We went on one of these parties from
Los Angeles to Santa Ana, some 80
miles. At Santa Ana We we're met by
carriages, and they conveyed us out
into the country about three miles
into an orange orchard. Here a
speakers stand had been erected with
seats in front and a place for the band
of music which they took with us.
The auctioneer began by making a
speech on California climate, fruits,
etc., ending by declaring that this
spot was the cream of the whole State
and the fairest on Gods green foot
stool, which was now offered
for sale in lots so by $50,
etc. Think OF it! Three miles
from town and 80 miles from any city,
lots sold for from $3.50 to $3.50, all the
land was worth per acre! Talk about
Ashland booms; it is nowhere to this
craze. Land here in San Diego. in
the business center, is held at $1,000 a
front foot, and the town only has, at
the outside, 5000 people. At Pasadena
we found residence property held at
$3.50 front foot, and you can
not get a SO or 100 foot lot there
as near as Forest Heights is
to Minneapolis for less than
$1,000. These figures will give you
an idea of what looks like moonshine
to me. am trying to get upa Min
neapolis boom here, by telling them
I can sell property at Minneapolis,
that lies perfect, plenty of water, and
just as near to city that does more
business in a week than the whole
State of California, outside of San
Francisco, does in a month, for less
money. l am still in love with Min
neapolis; haven't seen anything that
can compare with it since I left, and
I ask nothing better than to live right
there the rest of my days.-[Minne-

The Enterprise of Lysander Spooner, tho
Rowland Hill of America
There died in Boston the other day man
to whom belongs more justly than to any one
else the honorable title of the father of cheap
postage in America This was the veteran
Lysander Spooner who passed away at his
home at the age of 20. In 1914, when the
sending of ordinary letter any dis
lance was serious tax, Mr.. Spooner began
an enterprise which was almost immediate
and proved lasting in its results He be-
lieved, while denying the right of leagues to
monopolize the carrying of mails, that the
business could be done more cheaply at
profit
To prove his belief and test the power Of
leagues he established a private mail from
Boston to New York, afterward extending it
TO Philadelphia and Baltimore, carrying let
tiers at the uniform rate of five cents The
business grew rapidly, but the government
officials soon overwhelmed him with prosecu-
tons Every letter he carried could be made
the basis of a suit He tried to get the at
torneys of the department TO let the question
go to the last tribunal on one test case, waiv-
ing proceedings on the others for the time
being but this did not suit their purpose,
which was 70 crush him with the weight of
legal expenses, and thus sooner drive him
from the field This they succeeded in doing
in the course Of seven or eight months He
had not the means to defend the numerous
cases piled up against him, and was compelled
TO surrender. Others, following his example,
had established private mails, and they. too.
were forced to retire.
But the moral victory was his BE had
demonstrated that a low rate of postage would
support the department, something or which
the people but for his action at that time
might not have been convinced for many
years afterward. So well had be done his
| work that in the next year congress made the
| first reduction in postage rates, followed In
1851 and in subsequent years with still further
reductions Mr.. Spooner was also a volunlin-
Gus writer and an active sbolitionist, aud the

| unconstitutionality OF slavery marked an
